Several Championship clubs are threatening to break away from the Football League as a dispute over TV money continues.

According to a report in The Sun, clubs have made a number of complaints about a proposed new TV deal with Sky Sports that is due to come into effect next season.

The Football League has brokered an agreement with the broadcaster to show Football League matches for the next five years for a fee of £119million a year, a significant increase from this season’s £90m.

However, despite having the support of those in League One and League Two, 15 of the bigger second tier sides have refused to give the deal the green light, believing they are entitled of a larger slice of the pie.

However, that would be set to increase to £2.95m in the proposed new contract, with £17.7m being shared around and some clubs are thought want at least double that. Clubs are also unhappy with midweek games being shown on the red button and over the internet, claiming gates will take a hit.

The Football League has called a special meeting with all 72 clubs to discuss the issue and has set a deadline of 4pm next Monday for the rebel clubs to reconsider their stance.
